You must have missed that Mythbusters episode. The spray, the clear lense and all the other products they tested that were "guaranteed" to work, didn't. Not one little bit.

The only thing that works is covering your plate with mud.

really?  I routinely california roll lights in broward county where the cameras are reported to be installed and have never received a warning or a citation.  I guess I must be lucky about 10,000 times.  thanks for setting me straight.

ok mickey... lets take less of a leap...  

why not have a chip installed in your car that records speeds and have the speed limits enforced electronicaly... when you passed the speed limit sensors on the road it would read your speed and if you were going over the limit...

It would send a code to the computer in your car that could not be cleared.. you would have to go to a "station" to have it cleared (after you paid a fine)

This would make the roads safer and take cops off the streets so that they could spend more time on the "war on drugs" and catching seatbelt and helmet law offenders.

your mom would approve..  so would most of the women socialist democrats.

it would generate revenue for social programs and...   A portion could go to schools and all the underpaid part time workers that teach at em.

Mythbusters is a entertainment show, the shows lawyers would never let the show air anything that would show people how to bypass a law.

storch... I have never gotten a ticket by one either..  what is your point?  is it the same old "there is nothing wrong with big brother in your life in every way if you never do anything wrong" arguement that you bring out every time?

I most certainly do not agree with you and your arguement.

I think you missed my point entirely.  I roll lights in broward BECAUSE they have the cameras.  I have yet to be cited for doing so.  if I were to be cited I would get my jewish lawyer to beat it in court.  God bless America.

Independently recording traffic violations (red light cameras), yes.  

Self-recording all traffic movement and then notifying authorities of violations, no.

There's some overlap here between the road block thread and this.  In the other thread, Eagler didn't seem to have a problem with roadblocks where police can search your car (in violation of the 4th amendment) and he used the 'if you're not doing anything wrong, what have you got to hide?' rationale for his support.

I think some of the backlash to that is drifting over to this thread.

so mickey...  you say... red light cameras to take your picture and send you a ticket and record where you were are fine but...

NO FURTHER?

I am glad in one respect.. that at least you draw a line somewhere.   Speeding kills more people and costs us more to monitor than red light running so why not record that too?    hell... a simple sensor and camera to record speeding violators...

how would that be to you?

The car is considered an extension of the home. That is the problem with roadblocks. Basicly it is an illegal search of your property.

I think it was around 1983 coming back from Seoul towards Taegu and near the town of Taejon there was a camera recording speeders, I was with another in a M880 heading South and we stopped a mile before the camera.... to get set up for a photo expierience.

Sandbag covers over the bumper edges to cover the veh number, front and back.... Left the 19th SPT CMD visable.
I put on my "I'm with Stupid ---->" T-Shirt on and we raced towards the camera... buddy dropped his trousers and pressed his buttocks against the windshield... 75 MPH and click..click....

1 week later the 19th SPT CMD is in an uproar... Korean Police have provided photos and demanded that someones heads are gonna roll... they  went as far as checking every dammm dispatched veh driver out on that day and questioned everyone.  Of course we had alibies... I did have my C&E Officer pull me to the side and just off the record tell me "Just let them unrecognizable Bassturds know not to do it again..."  He laffed his arse off and slapped me on the back...shakin his head as he walked away.

We chilled after that..... but we made local History.

I'm surprised nobody has thought of sniping he things with paint ball guns yet

Better yet. Use a hypodermic to draw out the standart "paint" in the balls and fill them with "B.I.N." primer and nail em with that.
the lenses will never come clean LOL
